I just got this racquet and i believe it to be fake, can anyone please verify? If this is fake, what do i do about it?
---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----
racket model: Yonex VOLTRIC 5
shaft serial: 6120103
cone code : 231104US
source : badmintonavenue.com, Burlingame, California 94010

so why do you think your US code racket would have Indonesian badminton federation sticker?

also, it would be expensive to import those stickers lol..

yup, we need to wait Demolidor (as I don't have the data)

I don't have a sufficient amount of recent data either but Badminton Avenue has up to now been legit unless someone made it up to fill in the source field for a fake from eBay or wherever. They have a 6120105 one in their website productphoto and it has the new font for Made in Taiwan models(?) ...
The shaft serial overlap should be approaching or already has been reached, at least from the earliest I have @ 64xxxxx but now we have a different font/typography to distinguish.

This was taken at the Yonex Sunrise Sports Life store in Singapore btw. Coincidentaly and conveniently the same cone code date . So it's looking good from all angles as you've already ahd confirmed .
